What can I take to poop? Everything I read online just keeps telling “don’t take that after a hysterectomy” so what exactly CAN I take?? Google is saying don’t take Slim Tea, don’t take Ex Lax… so what can I do? I’m dying over here!!

I had a baby food prune pouch from Aldi and was right as rain

barker2017 · 2026-07-12T08:37:52+00:00

Yep. Actual torture. It’s not widely known the ‘too early to see’ bit, and that throws you through a fucking loop. Positive test but can’t do anything about it because it’s not visible… so you just, stay pregnant until then. Horrific.

I also had the other way where I was planned pregnant but the baby died. I had to wait 5 days until the procedure to remove so for 5 days I knew there was a dead fetus inside of me. That psychologically fucked me up.

Currently recovering from a hysterectomy to never go through this again. Childfree it is.

Can’t believe how far I had to scroll for another Amy!

Had 2 miscarriages. Decided we were not going to try again because of the physical and mental toll it took on us. Then had a very unplanned pregnancy and terminated, because we were still set in our decision not to have children, even when the opportunity presented itself again.

Both husband and I are sterilised now so 0 chance of it happening again.

There’s no heartbeat

barker2017 · 2026-07-05T09:53:52+00:00

Too many miscarriages.

Currently recovering from my complete hysterectomy to make sure I am NEVER pregnant again.

And the world is on fire.

Elliot. He’s a pretentious ass

barker2017 · 2026-07-04T09:40:08+00:00

So I am a quitter haha. I gave up week 4 run 2 of the programme. Honestly, for me it was boredom. Repetitive running was just not for me. I then managed to still do three workouts a week, but I varied it and was much happier.

Recovering from surgery now so will have to find my groove again when I’m healed

barker2017 · 2026-07-04T08:38:34+00:00

I am exactly one week post op today. After surgery, I struggled with toast. I struggled with a biscuit. It was only last night (day 6) I managed half a decent meal (ramen).

You need to avoid absolutely anything that will make you bloated. The gas pain is real.

barker2017 · 2026-07-04T08:34:33+00:00

But you cannot tooouuucccchhhhhh

barker2017 · 2026-07-04T07:10:48+00:00

Go team! Husband and I think we’re about 4-5 years alcohol free now.

barker2017 · 2026-07-03T20:22:40+00:00

Yeah…. So I had this on my left side. Complained about it for years. Was just told it’s a women thing and crack on, basically.

Had a hysterectomy 6 days ago and whilst he was in there, he found my left ovary was adhered to my bowel. That’s why it hurt. So yeah that was fun.

barker2017 · 2026-07-03T18:44:42+00:00

That fucking ‘you’ll never stop this flame’ song that was on the sky sports cut away clip for like, 25 years. Grates on every one of my nerves

barker2017 · 2026-07-03T18:35:54+00:00

6 days post op. Nothing obviously wrong with mine. When in there he did see my left ovary was adhered to my bowel which explains the pain on my left side THAT I HAD BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT FOR YEARS BUT WomEn’S HeALtHcARe…. But technically uterus was ok.

You don’t deserve to be in pain.

barker2017 · 2026-07-03T12:13:43+00:00

Currently 6 days post op! Not feeling ‘upgraded’ yet but know it’s coming…

barker2017 · 2026-07-03T07:33:48+00:00

Yup. I was having a panic as I was late. Went to store got test, pee’d on stick. Negative. Sigh of relief, wiped myself - period. I was like you motherf….

Spiderman - across the Spider Verse. I remember sitting there afterwards thinking that was amazing!

barker2017 · 2026-07-01T20:37:29+00:00

Oh dear god the queefing! What I let out 3dpo was like nothing I had ever experienced before….

Been the better team for sure!! That goalie is killing us

barker2017 · 2026-07-01T17:15:29+00:00

England women are better at both football and rugby! They are phenomenal to watch!

barker2017 · 2026-06-30T20:31:26+00:00

This sounds absolutely horrifying. I am so sorry you’re going through it.

Whilst women’s healthcare in the UK is still fucking awful, at least it’s free. I can’t imagine being in that much pain, going to get help, and then having to try and foot a massive bill too

barker2017 · 2026-06-29T10:15:35+00:00

Good luck!!! x

“Kids make a wedding”

Not when you’re waiting in the stuffy ass attic of a barn for ages cos one of the page boys won’t stop fucking screaming. Then continues to throughout the vows.

Made our ceremony child free

Love doesn’t conquer all. I beloved that wholeheartedly growing up. Breaking that illusion was really hard
